A southwestern Illinois police officer is suspended from his job and free on bond after being accused of illegally making cell phone videos of women at a tanning salon.
Prosecutors in Madison County charged 46-year-old Edwardsville police officer Michael Collins with three counts of unauthorized video recording. Each felony alleges he secretly recorded a different woman over a four-day period this month.
Authorities say the case surfaced last Tuesday, when Glen Carbon police were called to Image Sun Tanning Center after a female customer accused Collins of taking pictures over the wall from an adjacent room as she prepared to tan.
